Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity titled "Fundamental Mechanisms of Affective and Decisional Processes in Cancer Control (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-14-067) was designed to support research that digs into the basic, underlying mechanisms of how emotions and related affective processes shape decisions and behaviors that matter for cancer prevention and control. The central idea is not simply to study cancer attitudes in a broad, descriptive way, but to generate fundamental knowledge about affective processes (for example, fear, worry, uncertainty, distress, anticipated regret, relief, or other emotion-related states) and then clearly connect that basic science to downstream consequences for real cancer-relevant choices and actions. Those consequences can involve one-time decisions, such as whether to consent to genetic testing, or patterns of decisions over time, such as staying adherent to an oral chemotherapy regimen. In other words, the science is meant to be foundational and mechanistic, while still being anchored to questions that have practical implications along the cancer prevention and control continuum.
A notable emphasis of the announcement is its invitation to disciplines that have not traditionally centered cancer as a primary application area. NIH explicitly signals interest in bringing in perspectives and methods from fields like affective neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, decision science, and consumer science. The aim is to use the tools and theories from these areas to tackle problems in affect and decision-making that are considered perplexing, understudied, or not well explained by existing models, and then show how solving those problems can improve understanding of cancer-related behavior. This cross-disciplinary push suggests the program was looking for investigators who can translate rigorous basic affective and decisional theory into insights that cancer control researchers can use to better predict, explain, and ultimately influence behavior, without turning the work into purely applied intervention development.
This opportunity used the Cooperative Agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means the project is supported in a way that can involve substantial NIH scientific or programmatic involvement compared to a standard research grant. The activity category listed is Education/Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.393 (Cancer Cause and Prevention Research). The program did not require cost sharing or matching, lowering the barrier for applicants who might not have institutional resources to contribute additional funds.
In terms of funding levels, the announcement listed an award ceiling of $700,000, indicating the upper limit NIH expected to provide per award under the terms of the FOA. The opportunity was posted on January 9, 2014, and the original and final closing date listed is October 14, 2016, with the opportunity archived on November 14, 2016. While those dates indicate the FOA is no longer active, the description still provides a clear blueprint of the kind of science NIH was encouraging: mechanistic affective and decision research that can credibly inform cancer prevention and control.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive, spanning many types of organizations. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) organizations other than universities), state and local governments (including county, city/township, and special district governments), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments and tribal organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The FOA also explicitly identified a wide range of additional eligible entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs). It further noted eligibility for faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and even non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities or foreign organizations. This wide eligibility aligns with the FOA's broader goal of drawing in expertise from diverse scientific and community contexts, especially disciplines and institutions that might not usually compete for cancer-focused funding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this NIH funding opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Fundamental Mechanisms of Affective and Decisional Processes in Cancer Control (U01)."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FOA number)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is PAR-14-067.
What is the main purpose of this FOA?
The purpose is to support research on fundamental (basic, underlying) mechanisms of how emotions and related affective processes shape decisions and behaviors relevant to cancer prevention and control, and to connect that foundational science to downstream consequences for cancer-relevant choices and actions.
What does the FOA mean by "fundamental mechanisms" in this context?
It emphasizes mechanistic, foundational work that explains how affective processes operate (not just broad, descriptive studies of attitudes) and then links those mechanisms to real decisions and behaviors along the cancer prevention and control continuum.
What kinds of affective processes are relevant to this FOA?
Examples mentioned include fear, worry, uncertainty, distress, anticipated regret, relief, and other emotion-related states.
What types of cancer-relevant decisions or behaviors does the FOA highlight?
The FOA points to both one-time decisions (for example, whether to consent to genetic testing) and decision patterns over time (for example, maintaining adherence to an oral chemotherapy regimen).
Is the goal to develop interventions?
The FOA stresses foundational and mechanistic science that is anchored to practical implications, but it explicitly signals interest in work that does not turn into purely applied intervention development.
Which scientific disciplines does NIH especially encourage to apply?
NIH explicitly invites disciplines that have not traditionally centered cancer as a primary application area, including affective neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, decision science, and consumer science.
Why does the FOA emphasize cross-disciplinary participation?
The goal is to bring theories and tools from fields like neuroscience and decision science to address affect-and-decision problems that are perplexing, understudied, or not well explained by existing models, and then demonstrate how that improved understanding informs cancer-related behavior.
What grant mechanism is used for this opportunity?
This FOA uses the Cooperative Agreement mechanism (U01).
What does a U01 cooperative agreement imply about NIH involvement?
It typically means the project may involve substantial NIH scientific or programmatic involvement compared to a standard research grant.
